Tony, great plants as always,
ssp chionophilus is a stunner with its turquoise color,
I tried to grow it few times, but it seems to prefer a colder place.... :-\

Tony,
how broad are the leaves of ssp orientalis? P. Wendelbo states they should be 4-5(-11) mm broad.

Yuri

I have just measured them and both ssp are the same at 22mm.I would say that both ssp species are from the type locations in the Flora of Turkey and that gives leaf width as 4-5(-11mm) for ssp orientalis and 12-15mm for chionophilus.

Maybe they have grown fat in my conditions !
